| MC aerobe in GI | e coli |
| MC GN sepsis | E coli |
| name toxins in E coli sepsis | Endotoxin lipopolysacc lipid A released, triggers TNF from macrophages->complement and coag cascade |
| what happens to blood glucose before/during sepsis | incrsd, at first due to impaired utilization, then due to insulin resistance |
| when do abscesses appear | 7-10 d s/p surgery |
| types of bac in abscesses | all have anaerobe, 80% have aerobes |
| tx abscess | drainage, but add Abx if DM, cellulitis, bioprosthetic implants, s/s sepsis, F, WBC |
| rate of wound infxn clean surgery, ex | hernia, 2% |
| rate of wound infxn clean contaminated, ex | elective colon resxn w prep, 5% |
| rate of wound infxn contaminated surgery, ex | gun shot bowel, 5-10% |
| rate of wound infxn grossly contaminated surgery, ex | abscess, 30% |
| MC organism in surgical wound | S aureus |
